Record Date: 1/6/2024 Rundown [Intro] Josh is heading out on vacation visiting Australia and New Zealand [4:21] Alec S. If this wasn’t your job, how many Sox games would you watch this upcoming season? The second half of last season I watched games around the league and realized how much good baseball there is to watch. I don’t see myself watching more than 40 Sox games this year [10:49] Michael In the spirit of a very old P.O. Sox question I asked where I wondered who would have the better career between Rodon, Kopech, and Alec Hansen. Which prospect that didn’t make the majors from the recent rebuild did you have the highest hopes on that didn’t pan out? What do you think went wrong? [18:16] John Phillips We will be going to Arizona again this year. We usually catch several Sox games and wander the practice fields. If you had this opportunity, where would you focus your attention? [21:43] Noah Amstadter In light of the Sox numerous AAAA acquisitions the past few weeks, are the team’s numbers in Ben Clemens’ metric looking any better? And isn’t strong AAA depth for this team as it currently stands kind of like carrying low deductible car insurance on a 17 year old beater with 300,000 miles? [27:52] Jordan How is BetterHelp not a sponsor of this podcast? I’m sure all of us Sox fans could greatly benefit from some professional help at this point…. [29:23] Benjamin Gazda How has a replacement for Benetti not been named yet? Do we even know who they are looking at to take the position? [39:02] Bryan Dolan What is a realistic statistical goal for Noah Schultz this year/has there been any noticeable comments or changes (ie bannister) to avoid recent developmental struggles ie Crochet/Rodon/ dear god Carson Fulmer. Enjoy your trip Josh!! It’s a dream of mine to make it there. [47:42] Asinwreck If Brett Phillips isn't the starting RF on Opening Day, who would be a realistic option? Also, can Josh bring Dave Nilsson back from Australia to manage the Sox? [57:04] Stephen Millark After signing roughly a dozen defensive replacements to one year deals, it doesnt seem like the White Sox have a real long term plan and probably don't have the farm system to achieve a real competitive team in Luis Robert's window of control. Considering that, is this the time to trade him? Even if you only get 80 cents on the dollar, those 80 cents probably do more to help the Sox return to the playoffs in 2-3 years than Robert does before he leaves Learn more about your ad choices.

Record Date: 1/4/2024 Rundown [Intro] When will Chris Getz make his first big move? Also, a check on remaining available ex-2019 Kansas City Royals players that could be added. [5:26] Hello, Brett Phillips. Why are White Sox fans fearful that Phillips will be the Opening Day starting right fielder? [20:05] Hello, Chad Kuhl. While his fastballs are getting awful results, Kuhl can help the Charlotte Knights with pitching depth that they didn't have last year. Or, because of his above average slider, could the White Sox help Kuhl transform into a reliever? [30:51] Josh and Jim discuss Joel Sherman's column in the New York Post about the New York Yankees pursuit of starting pitching, and what Sherman is hearing about the White Sox asking price for Dylan Cease.

If yes, then there's a chance the White Sox added a starter than can pitch 125 or more innings in 2024. [16:36] With new Boston Red Sox GM Craig Breslow saying that the team needs to be prepared to part with prospects to acquire controllable starting pitching, could this be an angle for Dylan Cease? Which Red Sox prospects should the White Sox target in such a deal? [38:40] Lucas Giolito signs with the Red Sox. What are the chances Giolito bounces back in Boston?

A lot will depend on how Hill heals from a ligament injury in his throwing hand and if he can regain velocity with his sinker. [41:41] This episode marks the last in 2023 calendar year.
